Instant Pot Potato Carrot Medley

Instant Pot Potato Carrot Medley has flavor to spare and all in under 30 minutes.  So simple you can have your favorite vegetables anytime you want.

Instant Pots are such a time saver. Here is a recipe that would probably take 45 minutes in the over and would heat up the house while everything was baking.  Not such a good idea when it is pushing 80°, 90° or even 100° outside.  Over 90° here yesterday and it’s only April.

No matter what the temperature is ‘time’ is always in short supply.  The instant pot helps take care of that problem for you.  I am excited to finally have an instant pot and I’m determined to take full advantage of it.

Instant Pot Potato Carrot Medley is packed full of goodness. You’ll be torn or whether to mash it or just stick a chunk right in your mouth. Either way the great taste is all there with a perfect balance of all the flavors.

I think I’ll make a grocery list for the week.  First I’ll list Mon. thru Sun. and then put Instant Pot under each day.  One recipe a day will be from an Instant Pot whether it’s a main, side or dessert.  That will be a lot of fun.  Not only to figure out the recipes but to eat them too.

Another nice thing is that there will be leftovers so that shopping list will probably be more like a week and a half worth of meals instead of just seven days.

Potatoes are such a great side dish and there must be hundreds of potatoes recipes in this world.  I’m sure I have at least 10 recipes on this blog alone utilizing potatoes.  The most popular at the moment is Dairy Free Herbed Scalloped Potatoes.   And then there’s Vegan Twice Baked Potatoes.  Both are classics in any household.

So don’t miss out on making another potato dish a tradition in your house. Pull out your carrots and Yukon gold potatoes and spend a few minutes making a great Instant Pot recipe.
